How does AtkinsRéalis support employees with disabilities?

As a disabled person with two conditions affecting my spine and, therefore, my mobility, I was particularly impressed during the hiring process with how proactive AtkinsRéalis was in listening to my needs and not just considering but offering up reasonable adjustments that would enable me to be effective in what I deliver for the organisation. I was welcomed with open arms into the Enable Employee Resource Group (ERG), which champions the issues for people with disabilities, impairments, or health conditions. I was recently asked to share my experiences in a nationwide wellbeing moment to help educate colleagues at all levels and break down barriers in the disability journey as I see it. I received nothing but support and congratulations for leading this discussion. Read more about our ERGs.
